It’s been almost a year since I first decided to learn to code, and what a year! Learning to program is one the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and I can’t believe I actually stuck to it and didn’t quit. To be honest, I actually did quit a few times, for a few days or weeks in a row at a time, but I then came back to it and kept going.

I’m glad I stuck to it, because it is also the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done…

I really enjoyed the learning process, but as of a few weeks ago, something new happened. I started to absolutely LOVE programming. Making a silly site like this one made me so happy, I couldn’t stop laughing.

I also found that I now can’t wait to wake up in the morning just so I can keep coding and making stuff. Having a superpower is just soooo much fun. There’s no way I’ll be quitting now!

It is with this in mind that I’d like to announce some super exciting news. I’m really thrilled to be joining the Hipmunk team as a SOFTWARE ENGINEER!!!!!

At Hipmunk, I’ll be learning and coding in Python. As a software engineer, it is important to not stick to one language, since languages change so often and we need to be flexible enough to quickly pick up the right language for the job. So I’m extremely excited and grateful to have exposure to something new and to learn from the best.

I’d like to thank all of my readers and the people close to me who have supported me throughout this journey. You helped me get to where I am today.
